|| I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand ||

In times like these, you wished time could slow down. Time is precious, it's the one thing that everyone has. However, there was hardly any time left till yours hit zero. Did you use it wisely?

|| I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river, and it made me complete ||

"You have a terminal illness, at most you have two months, I'm sorry.."

You went completely numb. Your ears refused to hear anymore than what you knew. Your lips refused to speak. If only your sickness could just take you away at that moment.

You've almost completely lost the will to continue on until the memory of someone popped into your head. Someone who was important to you. The person you wanted to live for.

|| Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on ||

Days continued to pass as if it were nothing. Each passing week you could feel yourself grow weaker. Though, he never failed to visit you.

|| So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin ||

"Tobio~! You don't have to come everyday you know," you coughed a bit, "what do you have?"

"H-here, the other ones are starting to wilt," he nervously handed you a bouquet filled with sunflowers.

"Wow! They're so pretty! Thanks!"

|| I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me ||

It was getting harder to pretend in front of your boyfriend. You didn't want to lie to him either, but you were running out of time. You weren't able to move around much anymore, you loathed staying in a hospital bed waiting for the inevitable.

|| Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? ||

"Tobio... Are you coming tomorrow..?" You asked quietly fiddling with the IV on your hand.

"Maybe, I'm not sure yet, why?" He asked.

"Nevermind, I'll call you.."

|| Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on ||

You felt it yourself. It was hard. Hard to hold on. Perhaps you wanted to free yourself from such a terrible illness, but something was missing. Something so small but you wanted to see it.

All your dreams happened to have that one place. The one place where you longed to go to. The place where only you and him knew of. You couldn't wait any longer. It would be too late for that.

|| So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin ||

"Tobio, I need to talk to you, please," you held your phone weakly in your hand.

"I-is something wrong (F/n)..?"

|| And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know? ||

|| "This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go,
Somewhere only we know?" ||

Kageyama rushed to the hospital, anxiety taking over his body, "(F/n)! Are you okay?What's wrong?!"

"Can we go outside? Only for a bit... I already asked the nurse she said it was okay, only for a little while."

"That's all? Do I put you in the wheelchair—."

"No, carry me on your back, Sorry, but I'm going to rebel against the doctors wishes this time," you giggled as Kageyama carefully lifted you, "sorry, am I heavy?"

"Actually, not at all.." He knit his eyebrows in concern, you lost so much weight. If only he could shake off the twisted feeling in his chest, "where to?"

"Remember that place where that small river runs by the grassy hill..? There. I want to go there... one more time," you mumbled the last part quietly.

|| Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on ||

"We're pretty far out... Why here?" He sighed a bit fixing his grip on your legs.

"You remember this place right?""

"Yeah, it's where we destress.."

"Wait," you slowly got off his back and tried to stand.

"H-hey! Be careful!" He turned around to help you support yourself since you've lost the feeling in your legs.

However, you managed to feel the damp grass beneath your bare feet. It was exactly how you remembered it in your dreams.

You and Kageyama sat down next the river in silence taking in the refreshing air. You felt complete. All you've ever wanted was to spend your last moment with Kageyama at the place only you and him knew.

|| So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin ||

"Tobio... you know I love you, from the bottom of heart."

"O-oi! Don't say such embarrassing things!"

"I mean it though," you huffed.

"...likewise.."

A few seconds passed, the only sounds that could be heard is the quiet running water and the rustling of the leaves from the tree above you, "I have a terminal illness... Somethimg incurable. I don't have much time left anymore."

|| And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know? ||

"What?!" Turning towards you he grabbed your shoulders tightly but he was careful not enough to harm you, "why didn't you say anything?! All this time, I thought you were getting better... You said you were fine! You... You promised that you'll watch me play volleyball again after you got discharged from the hospital, (F/n). No, we have to get you back, you shouldn't be out here right now!"

|| This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? ||

"No, this is the last thing I want to do... Of course, I wish I could do more. I wanted to do more, so much more. I wanted to fall in love with you more than I already am. I want to watch each and every single one of your games. Tobio, I want more. More time, but I can't. I'm suffering. I'm sorry," you sobbed as you leaned your head against his chest, "What can I do to make time just stop."

"I-I don't want you to go, not yet. I'm not ready, please fight it! I'm begging you, you promised me. You promised," tears stung the edges of his eyes. If only he could wake up from this horrid nightmare, but this was far from a nightmare. It was the cruel reality.

"I'm sorry, Tobio," You buried your face in his shirt, "but I promise, that I'll always be watching you. Just not in this world. I'll haunt you if you sulk too much okay?"

|| This could be the end of everything ||

Kageyama refused to leave your side when you returned to the hospital. However, you forced him to leave because he had a game to play.

"You'll be here, once I come back right?" He asked.

You simply smiled sadly, "Yeah... Bye, Tobio."

|| So why don't we go ||

"Congrats Karasuno! You gained another win! Let's go eat!"

"Yo! Kageyama! That set was like 'WHOOSH!' and I went it like 'BAM!'" Hinata hopped into the air excitedly.

"You really need to improve your serving," He deadpanned causing a physical dispute between the two as usual until Kageyama's phone interrupted them.

Opening up his phone he felt his heart stop.

"Is this Kageyama-kun? I'm sorry, but... she... let herself go. We didn't expect it to be earlier than what we anticipated... I'm so sorry—."

He immediately hung up letting his hands fall to his sides.

"Oh?~ Whats up with the notorious king?~"

"W-wait Tsukishima... I think.." Daichi held out his hand to stop him from saying any more, "Kageyama... Is—."

"She's gone," his eyes grew blank. An empty void of any emotion.

"... (F/n)-chan..?" Sugawara held his hands over his mouth. You and him were close as well, you were basically a younger sister to him.

"Please don't say that name, I just.. need to go home."

~

Kageyama laid motionlessly on his mattress as he stared at the wall paper on his phone that displayed a picture of you and him.

"I didn't even get to say I love you," He finally allowed his emotions set it. The frustration, the despair. He let it all out. Was he screaming? Perhaps. He couldn't really hear himself at this point.

His mother was suddenly by his side attempting to calm him down. He didn't care. Right now, nothing matter to him.

"I love you, (F/n)."
